Re: Sasquatch!

The new album will be instrumental, meaning they play instruments and sing a little bit, also. It is very funk-oriented, but experimental to varying degrees. Some of the songs are very good. Others are not as good. But none of it is boring or overly derivative. If you have seen them play live within the past few years, or have Hello Nasty or The In Sound From Way Out, you should have an idea of the direction they are going.

I think that a lot of their new direction stems from realizing how ridiculous three 45 year old dudes wearing Adidas jumpsuits and rapping about practical jokes can get.

Re: Sasquatch!

The Beastie Boys were fuckin excellent, you are a dumb cunt if you didnt think so. They busted out their hardcore which they havent done in 8 years, debuted some new material which was awesome. Their new cd leaked, and its excellent. The Wookie shows was fuckin amazing, you are an idiot for leaving. Download the dvd and see what you missed.

Re: Sasquatch!

Uh, no. You're the idiot for not leaving. Manu Chau's main stage set was astounding.

Yeah, no one can sing yo-yo-yo for ~8 mins quite like they can.

Re: Sasquatch!

I saw Manu Chao at Coachella, well, saw, as in being crushed to death, trying to breathe before RATM came on...its too bad the schedules conflicted I would have liked to see them again, but Bboys were fuckin awesome. And Im not american either and speak english and spanish and lived in Peru for 5 years and know exactly what Manu Chao is talking about...I didnt get your argument there.

Re: Sasquatch!

There is SUBSTANCE in what he is singing about.

It's not that fucking difficult to understand.

You are CLEARLY a Beastie Boy fanboy. Of course you're going to [proverbially] suffocate on their nuts. I went to their Wookie stage performance and thought it was complete shit. No, I digress ... to me, a lover of music, it was complete shit. I've seen local bands that can play better then those fucks. PERIOD.

There is no more debate necessary. You can talk about how Manu says Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo, in his choruses all you want. At least MC can play a fucking instrument correctly.

Audience attendance numbers are irrelevant to the quality of the performance.

Also, I daresay that many of those there for Manu were there to stake a spot for AF & Bjork. I know I was. We won't let that thought get in the way of your notions though.

Re: Sasquatch!

Do you even like the Beastie Boys at all? Cuz all this bickering back and forth is irrelevant if it's already a foregone conclusion that you don't like the beastie boys and that the other people do.

I quite enjoyed the Beastie's set on the Wookie set and judging by the video footage I shot, a hell of a lot of people enjoyed it too. Their Sunday set was a little disappointing for me because I was hoping for more from Mix Master Mike and less repeats of the Saturday set, plus I was already pissed off that the wind and an incompetent wookie stage crew screwed over my chance to see Michael Franti. 2 hours to set up mics and guitar amps? WTF?

I saw Manu last night and it was amazing...guy knows how to put on a great show...though...he was shown up by Gogol...

Re: Sasquatch!

Ive never heard any Gogol Bordello before, but I was gonna buy tix to his show here in Vancouver in September, but now im gonna be LA when he comes, so ill have to wait to see what the hype is all about...

Re: Sasquatch!

There were MORE people at Manu Chau than at Beastie Boys Wookie performance. How do I know? I went to both. And you're clearly a fanboy. Hardly an objective voice on the matter.

E

The fact that the beasties tore it up... doesnt make me a fan boy. To be honest, I only own one or two of their albums. Yeah, I like 'em, but I hardly consider myself a fan. You're absolutely right, I was not at Manu Chau, therefore my voice is not objective... but I didnt say they were bad. I was told from a lot of people that they were great, and a lot of people told me they were "hilarious". You left the Beasties set after ONE song, so shut the fuck up.

Re: Sasquatch!

I didn't know that one HAD to stay for an entire shit set just to be able to state that it was a shit set.

I didn't recognize the first two, but then again, I'm no blind Beastie Boy nuthugger like some who were at Sasquatch. .........

So you stay for 1.5 songs, neither of which you recognize and yet it was 'shit'

Ok.
